This comedic spy flick starring Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher and Tom select and Catherine O'Hara was surprisingly very entertaining despite very negative reviews. The action sequences were very violent and intense just how I like them, and Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl's chemistry between each other as a married couple was perfect, I found myself laughing throughout the film! Also Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara did a great job too, along with Alex Borstein, she was very fitting and very hilarious and her role. There was a couple of scenes that had missed placed jokes that fell flat, but that was rare. I really don't know why this movie got negative reviews. Eight out of 10 for killers

The Killers (2010): Dir: Robert Luketic / Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Tom Selleck, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Mull: Mindless torture comedy with a title that refers not just to the married couple, but also to every single nitwit they cross paths with. Katherine Heigl plays a newly single woman on vacation with her parents. She meets handsome stranger Ashton Kutcher whom she immediately hooks up with then director Robert Luketic bolts us quickly into three years of marriage. Suddenly Heigl learns that her true blue husband is a spy when neighbors, friends, the postman, co-workers, the kitchen sink, etc, tries to kill them. Luketic previously made the underrated comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, and also directed Heigl in the smash hit The Ugly Truth. Here he is all over the place and nothing makes sense. Kutcher seems too young to play this spy whose past catches up with him. Heigl says the wrong things and her little truce circle is completely ludicrous. She learns that she is pregnant right around the time Kutcher discovers that his boss is dead. Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara share in the shame as Heigl's parents whom she is constantly relying on. The twist regarding Selleck isn't much of a surprise, and O'Hara's reaction will be ours if alcohol is handy concluding this film. Martin Mull is a waste as Kutcher's boss but one can be sure that this is not how he wants to conclude his career. The action is well done but hardly makes up for the constant irritation of double crosses. It could have been a satire about marriage but instead it is a film fit for knife throwing practice. Score: 2 / 10

A pretty young woman marries a mysterious man on the rebound and then finds out he's a former government assassin, and more assassins are after him. Sound familiar? Yep, this movie's pedigree could not be more obvious if they called it Mr. and Mrs. Smythe... Anyway, action comedies rely on a few things to succeed: good action sequences, charismatic stars and funny dialogue. Here we get one of three. The fight scenes were pretty well-staged, although the chases ranged from very good to merely ho-hum, and there were none of the really elaborate knock-your-eyes-out stunts that a viewer sometimes encounters in these pictures. And although Katherine Heigel has screen charm to burn, she is basically playing the same gorgeous but slightly over-wound neurotic character as in The Ugly Truth. She needs a new shtick. The real letdowns here, though, are the script - which had no more than maybe two light chuckles and no big laughs - and Ashton Kutcher, who just isn't interesting enough on screen to carry a movie of this kind on his own. Ashton wants to be Pierce Brosnan , but comes off as more of a goofy frat boy George Lazenby. In The Ugly Truth, KH had Gerry Butler to play off, but with Ashton the sizzle just isn't there. The scenery is nice (It's set in Nice, get it? Okay, moving along...) and the lead pair are attractive to look at, but this is about as lightweight and generic a movie as you can make without it going direct- to-video. There are worse ways to kill two hours, but don't expect much in the way of originality or cleverness.

Movie has great idea etc... but total ruin for this movie is awful acting performance by Ashton Kutcher. He usually has funny Comedy movies and they are just fine, but this one... horrible, completely ruins the whole movie. Probably that's what Katherine wasn't relaxed either so her acting was on edge to be awful, but still better performed than Ashton.We don't know of course was such acting asked from them by the Director or whoever, but this is not how movies should be played out.So this is definitely NOT recommended movie to watch, you just feel from the start that something is wrong and it keeps on going and going... and you don't see any progress whatsoever...
